Why not let pols use campaign money?

The federal investigation of U.S. Senate candidate Christine O’Donnell prompts Michael Silverstein of the Wall Street Journal to ask on The Moderate Voice: What’s so wrong with letting politicians use campaign donations for personal expenses?

While we and other critics of laws that effectively permit this have called it legalized graft, Silverstein questions why it should be banned, as long as politicans are up front about it and pay taxes.
